As the highly anticipated release of the Apple iPhone 15 series draws near, leaked images of a protective case for the iPhone 15 Pro Max have surfaced online. The photos, shared by prominent leaker Majin Bu, offer a glimpse into the design changes of Apple’s upcoming flagship device.
The New ‘Custom Button’ and Its Potential Functions
The most significant alteration visible in the leaked images is the relocation of the traditional Mute switch, which has remained unchanged for the past 16 years. In previous iPhone models, the Mute switch was positioned on the upper left side of the device, with a flat and narrow oval opening on the case for easy toggling.
However, the leaked iPhone 15 Pro Max case presents a noticeable departure from this familiar layout. The opening at the location of the silent switch has undergone a transformation, featuring a wider and more rounded design. Speculation suggests that this modified opening may house a new “custom button” intended to replace the traditional silent switch.
Earlier rumors had already hinted at Apple’s intention to replace the long-standing Mute switch with a more versatile “custom button.” This button is said to be equipped with a miniature processor, enabling users to perform various actions even in situations where the battery is low or the device is turned off. Such functionalities include making secure Apple Pay transactions and locating the iPhone using the Find My iPhone feature.
Notably, the case features a distinct cutout for the camera module, hinting at a possible enhancement in comparison to its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The larger cutout strongly suggests that Apple may be introducing a more advanced camera system in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
As the leaks continue to trickle in, anticipation builds for the official unveiling of the Apple iPhone 15 series, where we can expect to learn more about the innovative features and improvements that await us.
